Profits of War: Corporate Beneficiaries of the Post-9/11 Pentagon Spending Surge, Costs of War Project, Brown University, 13 Sep 2021. Scholarship & press
Raytheon 26.3 27.8
Companies benefiting from the buildup of the past 20 years range from weapons manufacturers like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, to logistics and reconstruction firms like Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR) and Bechtel, to armed private security contractors like Blackwater and Dyncorp.
The benefits of the post-9/11 surge in Pentagon spending have been highly concentrated. One-quarter to one-third of all Pentagon contracts in recent years have gone to just five major weapons contractors: Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman.
